Niger: Governor Bago eases restrictions on motorcycles, tricycles
Governor Umaru Bago has announced a revision of the curfew hours imposed on the movement of motorcycles and tricycles within the Minna metropolis.
A statement by his chief press secretary, Ibrahim Bologi, disclosed that the new curfew hours would be from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
The governor said the adjustment was made based on security updates received from the state security committee.
Mr Bago assured the people of Niger that his administration would continue to engage with the security committee to assess the effectiveness of the curfew and make further adjustments as necessary.
He urged citizens to remain law-abiding, restating his administration’s commitment to implementing policies that positively impact their lives and ensure their well-being.
The governor had on April 23 restricted the movement of motorcycles and tricycles from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. due to a spike in thuggery.
The restrictions on motorcycles and tricycles were put in place as a proactive measure to address growing insecurity in parts of the state capital, Minna.
